1. Data Analyst Job Market Insights for February

As mentioned last month, we're utilising the data available to bringing you a second (February) edition of Market Insights - a deep dive into the data analyst job market, where we can have a look at the job openings and provide you all with insights on the latest hiring trends for the past month in the US and UK markets.

Which industries are hiring the most? Are we seeing any salary increases? And what about the remote working trend?

Insights for the United States market - here.

2. Day in the Life of a Data Analyst

What does a data analyst do? How can I become a data analyst? How does a data analyst career look like?

Those are some of the most frequent questions being asked across the web, so we'll be bringing you interviews with current data analysts, sharing their experience, thoughts and advice!

We'll be sharing the first interview next week, 9th March, and it will be with Eddie, who is a Clinical Data Manager for a pharma/biotech company!

3. My Reddit post about DataAnalyst got 45k views in 24hrs, what did I learn?

One of favourite subreddits is r/dataisbeautiful - I find it amazing how talented some people are, being able to gather data from all over the place, structure it, and visualise it in a way that it tells a story so simple, yet so captivating.

Building in public is scary, it doesn't (probably) get easier - it is however a huge opportunity to learn something new, improve your work, and grow.

With that in mind, I decided to publicly share my journey of building Data Analyst on Reddit. As most of you probably know, you never know which way the comments section is gonna go, so I was understandably nervous.

The feedback however was overwhelmingly positive, and the post racked up over 45k views.

I'm incredibly thankful for all those who interacted with the post and shared their thoughts - I read through and replied to all the comments, and decided to do a wrap up of the experience.
